Fun Police at it again!

[2much]

If this has already been posted... whatever.

Anyway, drove home from Dorkland tonight, hit the Karangahake Gorge and it's now 80km limit all the way thru!!! WTF? when did that happen? I rode thru there about 3-4 weeks ago and I'm sure it wasn't there then.

I can't see cars getting much over 80kms there anyway, particularily with the amount of traffic going thru there, so this has got to be directed at bikes.

I've heard of a few bikes going off thru there (remember a Harley went off after the paeroa races ealier this year) but this sucks arse!

BTW, if it's been an 80km area for the last few years, let me know and I'll cut down on the drugs. cheers

now that has got to suck !!
if you get a clean ride through there with no cages that bit of road
has to be one of the best around

Was in the new a sort time ago,too much cage crashes. And it is not to police but transit. They seam to have no money to make our roads safe so they go out and put up signs and lower speed limits. Remeber when ther were passing lanes at meremere? Too many crashes and their fix was to make the road narrower and reduce the speed limit.
Last nights new on TV1, Transit says that there have no money to fix the maramura road, and the next article on the news was how the govment has such a big surplus because of larger tax take and not spending on health edcuation and road.

GO FIGURE.:slap: :slap:

well they have to allow a billion bucks for their interest free student loan bribe... hey, thats far more important than saving lives

The reason is simple,really.
Joe motorist is travelling close to 100 kmh now,so the revenue from fines has dropped.
The only option open to the Govt. is to reduce the limit to 80 kmh and thus increase the opportunity to issue tickets.

Ha bloody Ha to those who voted for the fuckers

[What?]

The stupid and simple truth of the matter is that Transit/LTSA/whoever** think that by making the gorge an 80K limit, people will think it must be a dangerous bit of road and take more care. For once it has nothing to do with revenue raising, because as noted above, very few ever exceed 80 in the gorge, anyway.

**These are the same people who will quickly tell you that Mr Average takes no notice of road signage...

WINZ pays out the entire police budget (including buying, running cars, training new cops ,payroll, rent, helicopter,boats EVERYTHING) out in 20 days to people on the doll.

The Doll should only be a temporary thing however New Zealand is from my understanding the only westernised country that you dont have to prove your actually looking for work to get the doll; nor is there any set limit down.

If you dont want to work in this country, you dont have to.....good old Joe Bloogs down the road can pay for both of you to live through his taxes.

Thats where the money goes mate...

Is this "doll" an inflatable one?:slap:
